That was one of the last songs they recorded for "The Visitors" album. the songs went darker and darker and the end of ABBA came closer and closer. it´s one of my favorites by ABBA and was their last no.1 single in germany......until now. but wait until.......whenever.

This was a very sad period in ABBA's career. As you say, Hari, you can see it on all their faces, especially Frida's. She and Benny had just divorced after he had gone off with another woman. It's not easy to put on a smiling face at such times. There's very real emotion here, not acting like they did earlier in their career. Talking of which, you should really check out 'Knowing Me Knowing You' for one of their earlier breakup classics. That's one of their most iconic songs and videos.

It’s pretty much acting for the camera. When you see the promo photos and behind the scenes photos from this day it’s all smiles as normal. ABBA are true professionals and they wouldn’t put a bad day ahead of a video shoot.

If you go back, can it ever be the same, or will it always be missing something, maybe that unquestioning trust that you are truly loved? I like that you dived deeper into the meaning of the song. I’ve always found these lyrics to be very powerful and many reviewers don’t stop to really think about them. Great review.

Too many people ignore the lyrics of ABBA, which can be pretty dark when you hear them sung to a different arrangement by other artists. But because of their upbeat melodies and poppy rythms they get written off as a fluffy popband at times.

It's funny, one BBC4 documentary about ABBA was telling how the "Serious" music Press welcomed Punk Rock with open arms as they saw it as a way that they would finally "Rid the world of ABBA" BUT pretty much the opposite happened, far from rejecting ABBA, the Punk Rock movement actually EMBRACED them. As for why, in Punk Rock it was all about singing it like you lived it: Angry with being unemployed, Angry with the Right wing Thatcher led government, angry with your girlfriend, it was an expression of raw emotion. And what were ABBA doing? Well pretty much the same: songs about Divorce, relationships souring, about droning boring daily life. And all of it sung as the band members lived it, the Punk Rockers respected the band for that.

"My Love , My Life." is another beautifully sung song by them....fun fact....ABBA were so popular that they jointly held the record for 36 years with Led Zep for the most consecutive No1 Albums (8) in The UK (even more than The Beatles) until recently surpassed by Eminem.

to be fair and honest with the comparison of the consecutive albums in the #1 of the British Chart I give some context and statistics data BEATLES had an extraordinary series of 7 consecutive #1 albums in just 3 and a half years since their debut (1963/1966), all original albums. (the eighth that was just #7 was a compilation) their debut album "Please please me" had the record of 30 weeks! consecutive at #1 and succeeded at #1 by their second album "With the Beatles" for another 21 weeks In short, two BEATLES albums it was 51 weeks at #1, almost a whole year! (just 58 years ago, this album "Please, please me" was recording on February 11, 1963) ABBA's 8 albums were in 6 and a half years (1976/1982) and include two compilations The 8 Led Zeppelin albums were in 10 years (1969/1979)

Harry what a beautiful song it is, and what mixed feelings it produces! "One of us" was # 3 in the UK the latest in their series of 18 consecutive Top 10 singles and the latest ABBA Top 10 It is a beautiful song Agnetha sings it with a voice as clear as sweet, in contrast to a letter as raw as it is real, and with a pleasant melody and a spectacular chorus with Frida I think it integrates the select group of the best songs (and videos) heartbreakers with: Knowing me knowing you The winner takes it all When all is said and done The video is very good and also shows the opposites of a painful move and at the same time hope in a new stage Agnetha interprets it excellent when arranging everything, painting and wallpaper As they already said so well, it is the time of the painful separation of Frida and Benny, and it was more difficult to sustain the musical continuity of ABBA until their separation the next year That is why it produces so many mixed feelings and sensations It is a song that is a pleasure to listen to, but at the same time the sadness of knowing that it was the last great success of ABBA In a comment I suggested you for a future reaction to My love My life a melodic song of extraordinary beauty; listening to it is heaven on earth, Agnetha shines at her highest vocal and interpretive level Here I leave you a special link, the only one in which she is seen alone interpreting it; I recommend it! kzitem.info/news/bejne/sISAmWl9smdhoXo I wish you an excellent day see you in another of your excellent reviews My regards from Argentina

I love everything about this song. What I always wonder about is having your ex wife sing it. Maybe they were able to separate all that stuff but it seems cruel. I guess we'll never know. But we do know the time in the studio was dark for this album. And it was their last one. So all was not happy in ABBALAND.
